SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act
(16 U.S.C. 6803(b)) requires the Forest Service to publish in the
Federal Register a six-month advance notice of establishment of
recreation fee sites. In accordance with Forest Service Handbook
2309.13, chapter 30, the Forest Service will publish the proposed
recreation fee sites and proposed recreation fees in local newspapers
and other local publications for public comment. Most of the proposed
recreation fees would be spent where they are collected to enhance the
visitor experience at the proposed recreation fee sites.
A proposed expanded amenity recreation fee of $15 per night would
be charged for Orr Lake, Mt Ashland, O'Neil Creek, and Big Flat
campgrounds during primary season; and a proposed expanded amenity
recreation fee of $15 per night would be charged for Sarah Totten,
Curly Jack, Tree of Heaven, and Indian Scotty campgrounds during
shoulder season. A proposed expanded amenity recreation fee of $5 per
extra vehicle would be charged for Sarah Totten, Curly Jack, Tree of
Heaven, Indian Scotty, Kangaroo, and Juanita Lake campgrounds, as well
as for Kangaroo yurts 1 and 2 and Tree of Heaven yurts 1 and 2.
A proposed expanded amenity recreation fee of $25 per night for
double campsites would be charged for Orr Lake during primary season
and for Tree of Heaven during shoulder season. A proposed expanded
amenity recreation fee of $50 per night for groups up to 30 people
would be charged for O'Neil Creek group campground during primary
season and for Curly Jack and Sarah Totten group campgrounds during
shoulder season. A proposed expanded amenity recreation fee of $65 per
night for groups up to 50 people would be charged for Indian Scotty
group campground during shoulder season. In addition, a proposed
expanded amenity recreation fee of $75 per night during the primary
season and $50 per night during the shoulder season would be charged
for rental of Tree of Heaven yurts 1 and 2; and a proposed expanded
amenity recreation fee of $75 per night during the primary season would
be charged for the Kangaroo yurts 1 and 2.
A proposed standard amenity recreation fee of $5 per day per
vehicle and $30 per year per vehicle would be charged at Juanita Lake,
Tree of Heaven, Grouse Gap, Mt Ashland, Jones Beach, Kangaroo Lake,
Lovers Camp, and Taylor Lake developed recreation sites. The Klamath
National Forest Day Use and Annual Pass and the America the
[[Page 66032]]
Beautiful--the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass would
be honored at these standard amenity recreation fee sites.
Expenditures of recreation fees collected at the proposed
recreation fee sites would enhance recreation opportunities, improve
customer service, and address maintenance needs. Once public
involvement is complete, the proposed recreation fee sites and proposed
recreation fees will be reviewed by a Recreation Resource Advisory
Committee prior to a final decision and implementation. Reservations
for campgrounds and cabins can be made online at <a href="http://www.recreation.gov">www.recreation.gov</a> or
by calling 877-444-6777. Reservations would cost $8.00 per reservation.
